Alterations and additions to Glenunga International High School, SA

Location: South Australia

Client: St. John the Baptist Primary School.

Summary:

We undertook a significant redevelopment project at St. John the Baptist Primary School to enhance their facilities. Our goals included adding classrooms, improving learning spaces, creating a safer drop-off/pick-up area, and enhancing recreational facilities.

Challenge and Solution:

Obtaining approval required continuous communication with Council's planning and engineering departments and heritage advisors. Mitigating potential impacts on neighbouring residential areas was crucial. A thorough assessment of traffic, parking, access, and aesthetics played a pivotal role in securing Council approval, with no objections from residents during the public notification phase.

Key Results:

• Improved Learning Environment: The redesign incorporates modern architecture and materials to provide an improved learning environment for staff and students.
• Additional Classrooms: We successfully added much-needed classrooms to accommodate the school's growth.
• Enhanced Safety: We reconfigured the drop-off/pick-up zone to enhance safety for students and parents.
• Improved Recreational Space: The project improved recreational areas for student activities.

In collaboration with Hardy Milazzo Architects and St. John the Baptist Primary School, this redevelopment achieved outstanding results, surpassing project objectives.
